There are 10 FREE class registrations hidden along the hop, so make sure you leave comments along the way. The more comments you make, the greater your chances are of winning!
You have until 11:59 pm EST on Sunday, June 21st to leave a comment to be entered to win! Winners will be announced Monday on Catherine's Blog.

Here is the amazing mood board we were to be inspired by.
and my card...
My inspiration came from the beautiful butterfly. I masked off a strip on my card base, sponged Peacock Feathers and Dusty Concord Distress Inks onto the card base. I removed the masking tape then stamped the butterfly and sentiment using Versafine Black ink. Added a few sparkly clear sequins to finish it off.
You should have arrived here from Maureen's blog and your next stop on the hop is Heather North.
I hope to see you in class!
Happy Hopping!
